Zirconium Implant Treatment in Turkey: Cost, Procedure & Patient Reviews
Zirconium dental implants are fully ceramic, metal-free alternatives to titanium implants. For UK and Irish patients with metal sensitivities, a preference for biocompatible materials, or aesthetic concerns about implant-gum visibility, zirconium offers a premium solution with the same long-term stability as titanium.
What zirconium implants are
Zirconium implants are made from yttria-stabilised zirconium oxide, a high-strength ceramic that integrates with bone the way titanium does. They are tooth-coloured rather than grey, so they do not show a dark shadow through thin gum tissue. They are also bioinert — meaning they do not trigger any metal-sensitivity reaction — which matters for patients who have tested positive for titanium hypersensitivity or who want to avoid metal restorations entirely.
Zirconium Implant Treatment Before & After in Turkey
Zirconium is the right choice for three groups of patients: those with documented titanium or general metal sensitivity, those who prioritise biocompatible and metal-free restoration as a personal preference, and those with very thin gum biotypes where a grey titanium implant might be visible through the gum line. For everyone else, high-grade titanium implants remain the most studied and most widely supported option.
Zirconium implant cases follow a two-trip protocol similar to standard implants. The first trip (5–7 days) covers extraction if needed, zirconium implant placement and temporary crown or bridge. After 3–6 months of bone integration in the UK or Ireland, the second trip (5–7 days) fits the final zirconium crown. Because zirconium is a two-piece system for the implant plus crown, the aesthetic result is fully metal-free from root to visible surface.

I have been to AST for all my treatments and I can't tell you how pleased I am with the final results. Everyone from Aleena the Coordinator, reception staff and dentists have given me 5* treatment. I would recommend this company to anyone wanting dental treatment, don't look anywhere else, I promise you will be more than happy.
I cannot thank the team at Amazing Smile Turkey enough for making my partner and me feel so at home during our journey. It started six months ago when we met Onur in Newcastle. He supported us with weekly updates right until we landed in Antalya. Everything from the hotel to the transfers was incredibly easy. The clinic was pristine, and Dr Tuğçe, dr Gamze gave me 100% perfect care from start to finish— we have truly had the best doctor possible. A special thank you to Aleena, our translator, who stood by us at every step, and to our driver, Kadir. You have changed our lives!
I recently underwent dental procedures at Amazing Smile in Antalya, Turkey, which included the replacement of three missing teeth, several white fillings, and a root canal.To date, the root canal and implant procedures have been successfully completed, and I am highly satisfied with the results, especially with the root canal done by Beyza who was gently, very patient and didn't let me feel any after pain.Upon my arrival, I was greeted by Batu, who provided exceptional assistance, demonstrating a pleasant demeanor and excellent communication skills. I also had the pleasure of meeting Aleena, who exhibited similar professionalism and a genuine effort to correctly pronounce my name. Kadir, our driver, provided seamless transportation from the airport to the hotel and to the clinic. Despite his limited English proficiency, Kadir was consistently helpful and pleasant.Overall, my experience was outstanding. I encourage others to consider this destination to experience the comprehensive services, from accommodation to leisure activities.
My experience was grate, the dentist she was gentle and understanding. I would recommend anyone that need a beautiful smile should come to amazing smile
From meeting the coordinator in my home town(Can) and getting all the info needed it was quite easy even when a flight got cancelled prior to my 1st trip nothing was to much and they sorted everything making the 1st trip alot smoother and the treatment provided was 1st class and very professional,my 2nd visit was for 8 days and to be honest it has flown by.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 100% Recommend – An Absolute 5-Star Experience!
If you are thinking about getting your teeth done, look no further than Amazing Smile Turkey Antalya. My entire experience with them was flawless from start to finish.
The logistics were incredibly smooth. I was greeted right at the airport and transferred to a stunning hotel right near the beach in Antalya. The itinerary was fast, efficient, and professionally handled:
Monday: Landed and settled into the gorgeous hotel.
Tuesday: Had my initial X-rays taken.
Wednesday: The big day. I had all teeth removed, a bone graft, a sinus lift, and a full All-on-6 (top and bottom) procedure.
Thursday: Had my temporary teeth fitted.
Friday: Flew back home!
To undergo that much dental work—including extractions, a bone graft, and a sinus lift—and come out with no bruising and very little pain is a testament to the incredible skill of the team.
I have nothing but praise for Onur and Batu. These guys were absolutely amazing throughout the whole experience. They made me feel comfortable, kept me informed, and honestly could not have been more helpful.
An amazing clinic, a beautiful location, and a top-tier team. It is definitely worth the visit. 100% recommended!
Very professional from initial consultation then to first procedure
And the final results are great for my confidence and feeling
Thanks to an amazing team
Especially Onur,Tugce,Batu
Long-term data and honest caveats
Long-term studies on zirconium implants are more limited than for titanium, which has 50+ years of data. Current 10-year studies show zirconium survival rates comparable to titanium in well-selected cases. We recommend zirconium honestly — when it is right for your case — rather than as a blanket upgrade. If titanium is clinically better for your case, we say so.
Natural Look
Our implant restorations have the appearance of natural teeth.
Stable and Secure
Implant restorations are securely attached to the patient’s jawbones.
No Special Care
Implant restorations do not require extra care.
Long Lasting
The service life of our implant restorations is very long.
All-Inclusive Dental Packages
Tooth implant installation
Additional medication used during or after the procedure (painkillers, etc.)
Yes — modern zirconium has flexural strength comparable to titanium for standard dental applications. Both are clinically proven for single-tooth and multi-tooth restoration.
How much do zirconium implants cost in Turkey compared with the UK?
A single zirconium implant with crown privately in the UK is typically £2,500–£3,500. At Amazing Smile Turkey the same treatment is usually 50–70% less, fixed in your written quote.
Will my gums look different with zirconium?
Yes — because the implant is tooth-coloured, you do not see the dark shadow sometimes visible through thin gum tissue with titanium. This is the main aesthetic advantage.
Am I allergic to titanium?
Titanium allergy is rare (roughly 0.6% of patients) but real. A patch test or a MELISA test can confirm. Zirconium is the alternative for patients who test positive.
How long does zirconium implant treatment take?
Like titanium, zirconium cases follow a two-trip protocol: 5–7 days for placement, 3–6 months of integration, 5–7 days for the final crown.
Do zirconium implants last as long as titanium?
Current 10-year studies show comparable survival rates. Titanium has 50+ years of data; zirconium has 20+ years and is a newer material class. Both are clinically proven.
Is zirconium biocompatible?
Yes — zirconium is one of the most bioinert materials used in dentistry. It does not trigger metal-sensitivity reactions and integrates well with bone and soft tissue.
Can I have All-on-4 with zirconium implants?
Yes, though titanium remains the default for full-arch cases because of its longer track record. Zirconium All-on-4 is an option we discuss for patients with specific preferences.
Is zirconium the right choice for me?
Only a specialist assessment can tell. Titanium sensitivity, gum biotype, and personal preference all matter. We recommend honestly on your written plan which is clinically right for your case.
Are zirconium implants covered by the written guarantee?
Yes. Every implant case at Amazing Smile Turkey, titanium or zirconium, is issued with a written guarantee for the fixture and the prosthetic.
